LETTER: Middle Tennessee athletes win national honors

The mid-state has been very blessed with much athletic talent lately. During the last few months we have witnessed several national honors be awarded to individuals and to teams.

Our Riverdale High School girls basketball team won the Tennessee State Championship in Class AAA. Max Prep and ESPN Hoopgurtz named them national champions. Blackman and Oakland girls were also ranked in the national polls during the season.

Goodlettsville's Little League Baseball team won the US 2012 Championship in South Williamsport, Pa.

David Price, Blackman High School and Vandy ex-player, won the Cy Young Award for the American League for 2012. David, with the Tampa Bay Rays, had a record of 20-5 and ERA of 2.56.

R.A. Dickey, Nashville, UT, won the Cy Young Award for the National League with a record of 20-6 and ERA of 2.73.

Steven Fox, Hendersonville, UT-Chattanooga student, won the US Amateur Golf Championship for 2012.
